Help:使用維基標記式語言進行編輯/5
Wikipedia already has 1.47 million articles, so most of the time you'll likely be updating and improving existing pages. Sometimes, however, you may want to create a completely new article! To do so, there are 3 criteria you need to know:
Notability
Is the topic notable? Topics need to be sufficiently important to be included in Wikipedia. For biographies, this means that the subject must have received significant coverage from independent sources, such as newspapers.
Reliable Sources
Are there reliable, and verifiable sources to back up any claims? Before you start writing an article, it is best to gather together a set of independent, reliable, verifiable sources to cite as references. These are essential for ensuring that the contents of Wikipedia remain accurate and trustworthy.
Conflicts of Interest
Do you have any conflicts of interest? It is best to avoid writing articles about yourself or companies and people who you work for. This is because it is difficult to avoid bias and achieve a neutral point of view on these topics. Even if you cannot write the article yourself, you can always request that someone else writes the article, and merely provide them with reliable sources to use.
Where to create a new page
It is typically best to create a new article as a Draft (e.g. "Draft:Example"). This allows you to write and develop your article before it gets moved to Wikipedia's mainspace.
